Hello mam. There are certain workouts which definitely increases the prominence of the breasts by putting up some muscular bulk beneath it. But might take longer than you expected. Few of the massages also do increase the size, but very slowly and steadily and only upto few extent. Very few ppl are aware about the surgeries which can help you gain the required size and shape with very minimal side effects. such as the simple mammoplasty, fat grafting or implants. u can text me online through this site for more details or visit my clinic

Did you know?

The first breast enhancement surgery was performed in the 19th century!

An Austrian doctor named Dr. Robert Gersuny injected paraffin into breasts for the first time in the year 1890 to enhance them. This was the first recorded instance of breast enhancement procedure.

You can most likely nurse even if you have implants

Most breast enhancement surgeries are compatible with breastfeeding. If your doctor had made the incisions under the fold of the breast or through the armpit it shouldn’t cause any trouble. A curved incision (smile-like) made around the areola may cause problems with breastfeeding.

One implant settles faster than another during recovery

Women are often surprised with the fact that the implants settle into place at different rates while recovering. If you are right-handed, chances are the right implant will fall into place more slowly since the muscle development is greater on the dominant side. It is vice versa if you are left-handed.

A chemical peel is an acidic solution, which is applied to the affected parts of your skin. On penetrating the skin, the solution destroys dead skin, unclogs pores and makes way for new skin to regenerate.
